Interdisciplinary post

I just want to start this blog off by saying I'm so sick of school and I cant wait to graduate anyways...

Class..

So we started a new course of government which is Economics. I like it mostly because it has to do with money and I LOVE money, I mean who doesn't. So far were learning about the Free Enterprise and what kind of government we have. We also did a little cupcake poster , which was an activity that would help us think about all that things that go into opening a new business. 

In Physics we did a new lab. In this lab we had to create something that would protect an egg when its dropped from this ceiling and hit the floor. My partners were Brittney,Reyna and Miles. So, I kind of damaged the egg before it even dropped. After we created the thing to put the egg in we experimented and our egg cracked. If i didn't already put a little crack in the egg it could of survived. R.I.P to that egg. 

In my AP Lit class we started doing big papers. We're reading the Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. So on the big paper we draw 8 zones and in the different zones we do different things connecting to the book. For example, our first zone was about our thoughts on the book so that's what we talk about in that zone and etc. 

Pre-Calculus, I'm so happy we took the regents and we pasted. So now were going more into Pre-Calculus , it isn't that hard. I like math and the thing about math is that its not difficult its just complex. You have to remember the steps and the formulas in order to get the answer right. We are learning how to do Matrices. Ms.Rios also has us doing a coding on Khan's Academy, Its fun you learn how to do coding and things that's apart of it. Like how to put color using coding, different shapes and even animation. I though something like Coding would be difficult but the way they explain it makes it easy.

Self-Selected Response

http://genius.com/Dej-loaf-grinding-lyrics/


I picked to talk about Dej Loaf 's song Grinding  today .

Alright, so in the Hook of the song the lines What you grindin' for? Just tell me what you grindin' for Who you grindin' for? Just tell me who you grindin' for ? are repeated. There is a purpose a purpose behind the song, which is to get people think who and what are the reasons your aiming to be successful. When I listen to this song it really touches me because everybody don't want to be to go to college to be success and some people are doing it because their parents are making them. But, there are people whop have nobody so they have to grind for themselves and be the reason they succeed. So those being the first two sentences of the hook which starts off the song is very powerful. 

I gotta make it, all or nothin'
Turn that nothin' into somethin'
Ain't tryna to work no 9 to 5, I gotta hustle, bro
I had to quit that shit I had to get my hustle on

This whole song is like a motivation to me because you can hear her struggle. In the lines above she basically saying I don't want a regular job so she has no other reason but to make it, it's all or nothing, and that nothing is going to be the thing that pushes her. That's how I feel everyday like working at McDonald's or Macy's is not what I want to do. I am going to be more in life so whatever I have to do I'm going to do no ifs ands or buts. You have to eventually stop what is leading you down the wrong road in order to get on the right track to becoming what you want to be. 

Say what's your purpose, dawg, tell me what's your purpose, dawg?
What do people really do what they do for? Why do people want to be rich? Why do people want to become basketball and football players? Everybody has a purpose. People are driven by different situations and reasons. So whats you purpose? I know my purpose and that's why I am going to succeed. Just because a person doubts you doesn't mean you nothing. How many people you think that Obama wouldn't become president? As long as you put your ALL into something your not going to let yourself fail because that's not going to be an option for you. I really love this song !
